Police probes for road signs mystery

By Leon Lee,

KENWOOD - Detectives in the north west of Christopher are investigating the disappearance of scores of road signs. It is thought that up to 80 have been stolen in the last two months along the main roads in Kenwood.

In August about 20 warning and direction signs, worth L$450, were taken from sites in Simon, east of Kenwood. Another 60 have now gone missing in the nearby area and police and farmers said they were worried about potential dangers for motorists and walkers. They warned that crashes could happen either at places like unmarked sharp bends or because a driver's concentration is undermined by trying to work out a route.

One theory about the thefts is that the signs are being stolen because of the rising price of aluminium from which the road signs are made. Police want to hear about any suspicious activity, especially anything that has been spotted at night.
